  NOLA Arbitrary Code Execution (Via File Upload)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://nola.noguska.com/> NOLA provides a company with all its
accounting, inventory, point of sale, contact management, billing,
purchasing, and reporting all in one integrated package.

DETAILS

Input validation vulnerability was reported in Noguska's NOLA accounting
software. A remote user can execute arbitrary commands on the system.

It is reported that the software fails to validate and filter
user-supplied input. Because of this, a remote user can upload PHP code
with certain file extensions (e.g., '.php4', '.phtml', '.html') and then
execute the code.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The information has been provided by <mailto:sindhi@hushmail.com> sindhi.
